Toole was a doctoral candidate at Tulane University, and many of his papers, including the manuscript for Confederacy, are on public display in the university archives. Toole grew up nearby, at 390 Audubon Street, and the surrounding Uptown neighborhood is one of New Orleans' flossiest. Beautiful Audubon Park is rich in native flora, including centuries-old live oaks, and the zoo will captivate family members too young to enjoy Toole or trees...
Wilson's biography, by contrast, offers a straightforward, scholarly account of the cellist's life.

Now a professional genealogist, Shaw photocopied local census records and created a 500-page manuscript documenting the entwined relationships of the cemetery's roughly 2,500 people. Phyllis Heiss, 76, of Boca Raton, Fla., tracked her family back 15 generations across five centuries and estimates that her still incomplete family database has the names of 11,000 relatives. Heiss, who has taught genealogy classes...
